Hello all,
I recently bought a vintage lens for my Fuji X-T4, and I was kind of excited not just to use it but to share my findings about the lens in terms of sharpness and other aspects.
So I took a bunch of shots of the same scene, at varying apertures (F5.6, F8, F11 etc).
What I want now is some relatively easy way to create a montage image from these shots, showing the same 1:1 area from each shot like this:
[F5.6 image][F8 image]
[F11 image][F16 image]
Etc - you have probably seen similar collages many times on lens review sites.
Besides the 1:1 crop I want to include a text on each "part" that shows what aperture setting was used. I don't need to have that picked up from Exif data automatically, just a simple way to add text to each image crop would be perfectly fine.
I'm thinking some command like this:
$ makecollage area=100,100,450,450 imageFolder=/some/directory/myphotos targetImageWidth=1000 imagesPerRow=2 dest=/some/directory/myfinalcollage.jpg
Text on each image could be sidecar files like this:
/some/directory/myphotos$ ls
DSCF_0001.jpg
DSCF_0001.txt
DSCF_0002.jpg
DSCF_0002.txt
This is all just to show what sort of thing I'm trying to achieve. Also excuse the Linux, hope you Windows and Mac people get the gist of it.
I'm looking for *any* way to do this, that doesn't involve me opening up each image, cropping, adding text,saving, then opening up each image at the end, placing them next to eachother and saving the whole thing once again. I got tired just writing that sentence ..
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Mike
